They're going to announce the San Diego festival and that's it.

Having spent a large chunk of my DMB days living in Orange County and seeing the band play in the area, when looking at if they 'have ever skipped LA' is how you define the 'LA' stop on the basis of the tours.
For many years, Irvine was the de-facto LA show and outside of the Home Depot Center years (2003-2005) and the handful of HB shows from 2006-2018, there has really never been a regular 'LA' tour stop. In 2000, they played Chula and San Bernardino, and I am pretty sure any self-respecting LA or Orange County resident would never classify San Bernardino as 'LA'. So in looking at if 'have they ever skipped LA', arguments can be made for some years when the 'LA' stop was in Irvine, but 2000 would be the one that would be closest to saying the last time the skipped LA, the Caravan and 2017 years not withstanding.
As for the Bay Area, the only year between 1996-2018 (again, the Caravan and 2017 years not withstanding) that this area was skipped out right was in 2009, with Shoreline getting skipped 5 times over that time same frame. The years that Shoreline has been skipped, The Greek up at Berkeley got three of those years, essentially keeping a show in the Bay Area.
Does any of that mean a damn thing this year that a late announcement adding stops in these two area is on the horizon, hell if I know. I would hedge my bet that one of the two areas will get a stop in that week-long break, which one... no clue.
